Edward Hopper

(Study of Ship's Deck with Cannon and Sailors)
1892–1895

Pencil sketch on beige paper featuring maritime scenes. The top half shows a sailboat with a single mast and a flag at the stern, sailing on rippled water. Below, a dockside scene includes figures in period attire: a man in a tricorn hat walking towards a seated figure, a person reclining on the ground, and a child sitting on the edge of the dock. The drawing has a rough, unfinished quality, with visible sketch lines and shading.
